The Wives of Sir James the Steward -391 THE WIVES OF SIR JAMES THE STEWARD -391- THE WIVES OF SIR JAMES THE STEWARD (d.1309) by Andrew B W MacEwen1 ABSTRACT This paper rehabilitates the traditional year of Sir James the Steward’s birth, names his first two wives, explains the late date of his third marriage to Giles de Burgh, and provides information about their four known children. It posits a double marriage alliance between the Stewarts and Comyns about 1240, clarifies the date of birth of Robert II, and establishes the circumstances of his mother’s death in 1317. It incidentally brings forward some overlooked information on the Muschamp family and shows when Sir William, earl of Mar, actually died. Lastly it draws together what little is known concerning Sir Nicholas Campbell (d.1305), whose representation passed to the Lochawe branch. Foundations (2011) 3 (5): 391-398 © Copyright FMG and the author Sir James, fifth hereditary Steward of Scotland (d. 16 July 1309), who succeeded his father Sir Alexander2 in 1281 or 1282, is traditionally said to have been born in 1243. Based on the late date of his marriage to Giles de Burgh,3 apparently in 1296, Barrow had suggested as early as 1965 that he was actually born later, perhaps in 1253, the year after his father’s pilgrimage to Compostella. In 1985 Barrow and Royan argued that “James was born even later than that, perhaps around 1260,” at the same time shifting “the likely date of birth of his younger brother John from Nisbet’s ‘1246’ to about 1263.” They concluded, “Although the precise date of James’s birth must remain a matter of speculation, it is more likely that he married while still in his thirties – and was therefore born about 1260 - than in his forties or fifties.” 4 In their study Barrow and Royan cited Symson three times, but they nevertheless overlooked – or disregarded – his statement that James married Cecilia Dunbar: “His Wife was Cecilia Daughter to Patrick Earl of Dunbar, who was the first of that Family who quitted that Title, and assumed that of March.” 5 This marriage will have taken place in the late 1260s, when James was in his twenties, since Cecilia can only have been a 1 Author’s contact address: 290 Main Street, PO Box 397, Stockton Springs, ME 04981-0397, USA.

(Comyn’s first wife Eva was certainly the mother of Sir John Comyn II of Badenoch and the four daughters named by Wynton. His second wife Alicia de Ros was the mother of John, Sir Robert, and Alicia.) 3 Although Giles is used as a man’s name in England, such a use is rare in Scotland. There are numerous examples of its use for Scottish women as the translation of the Latin Egidia. Earlier forms include Gelis and Jeillis (Jill), stabilising as Giles by the 18th century. 4 Geoffrey Barrow & Ann Royan, “James Fifth Stewart of Scotland, 1260(?)-1309,” in Essays on the Nobility of Medieval Scotland, ed.

See also the commentary in the appendix (p.398 below) -392- THE WIVES OF SIR JAMES THE STEWARD daughter of Earl Patrick III (1213-1289) and his wife Cecilia, married about 1240, daughter of John fitz Robert of Warkworth and Ada de Balliol.6 Symson assumed that Cecilia was the mother of James’s known children – erroneously, of course. We can be certain she had no sons who survived, though it is possible she had a daughter or daughters, as yet unidentified. James and Cecilia would have been in the fourth degree of consanguinity, as great-great-grandchildren of Sir Walter fitz Alan I (d.1177). James’s second marriage has until now escaped detection, despite the fact that the evidence for it, a court case of 1279, was printed as far back as 1891: Nicholaus de Graham ponit loco suo Thomam de Hagarstym, clericum, versus Thomam de Doby [sic], de placito assisae mortis antecessoris. Jacobus filius Alexandri et Muriella, uxor ejus, ponunt loco suo Stephanum de Muschaump’ vel Thomam de Hagarston’ versus Thomam de Rok, de placito assisae mortis antecessoris. Maria, uxor Nicholai de Grame, ponit loco suo eosdem Stephanum vel Thomam versus eumdem Thomam de eodem placito, etc.7 (Doby is apparently a misreading.) The jury found that “the heirs of Muschampe hold their barony by service of four knights, and making suit to the county at Newcastle.” 8 Muriel and Mary were the daughters of Sir Malise, earl of Strathearn (d.1271), by his first wife Marjory, daughter and coheiress of Sir Robert de Muschamp (d.1250).9 Muriel was the second wife and widow of Sir William, earl of Mar, but her subsequent marriage had been unknown. (James’s use of the patronymic here appears to be unique.) William, earl of Mar, witnessed a charter of Alexander III at Haddington, Wednesday, 1 August 1274 (anno 26), along with Robert de Brus, earl of Carrick,10 three weeks to the day after the birth of the future Robert I at Turnberry on Wednesday, 11 July. He was alive at the end of 1276 when summoned to “provide his service in the army of Wales for a knight’s fee.” 11 “The formal feudal summonses were issued on 12 December 1276, asking 6 Andrew B W MacEwen, “A Clarification of the Dunbar Pedigree,” The Genealogist, 9 (1988): 229-39. 7 “apud Novum Castrum Super Tynam, in Comitatu Northumbriae … in octabis Sancti Hillarii anno regni Regis Edwardi septimo” [20 January 1278/9], in William Page, ed., Three Early Assize Rolls for Northumberland 13th century, Surtees Society, 88 (1891): 301; cf p.204, n.2.

They name his mother, “domina Matilda,” and his sister Giles, wife of William fitz John of Honum: “quas domina Matilda mater D. Rob. De Muscampo dedit Wil. filio Joh. de Honum cum Gilia filia dict. M. in liberum maritagium” (p.20a). And see Cosmo Innes, ed., Liber Sancte Marie de Melros (1837), 1: 206-7, no.232; 207-9, no.233; 209, no.234. Although cited by Tate and others, these charters were overlooked by Hedley. 10 Joseph Robertson, ed., Collections for a History of the Shires of Aberdeen and Banff (1843), 340 (misdated 1269). 11 Bain, op.cit. (1884), p.62, no.201. THE WIVES OF SIR JAMES THE STEWARD -393- all those who owed service to muster at Worcester on 1 July.” 12 He probably died during the following year, 1277. In 1281, at Michaelmas Term [9 October – 28 November], Edward I commanded the Barons of the Exchequer, as William, earl of Mar, had provided his service, to quit him of the scutage.13 Sir Donald of Mar, who first appears as earl in record on 25 July 1281,14 had actually succeeded his father some four years earlier. The marriage of Earl William’s widow to the future Steward surely took place in 1278, when she was thirty-four. The earl’s first wife, Elizabeth Comyn, died in 1267,15 so his marriage to Muriel lasted less than a decade – though how much less is unknown. Muriel’s second marriage would last thirteen years, until her death at the age of forty- seven. It seems unlikely that James would have married a widow in her early thirties who had not demonstrated her ability to bear a child. Muriel may well have had children, perhaps indeed by both her husbands, who did not survive. No evidence bearing on this point has been found. All that is known is that her sister was her heir. On 16 May 1291 at Norham, Edward I took the homage of “Muriella, widow of William earl of Mar, granddaughter and one of the heirs of Robert de Muschaump,” but she was dead within six months thereafter, a writ of diem clausit extremum issuing at Worcester on 12 November, Edward having learned that “Muriella formerly Countess of Mar, is dead.”16 Her sister Mary, aged forty years and more, wife of Nicholas de Graham (of Dalkeith and Abercorn), was found next heir to “Muriella, late Countess of Mar,” on 23 November by inquest at Wooler, with Stephen de Muschauns and Thomas de Hagardistone among the jurors.17 Shortly after his succession as Steward, James had confirmed, “consensu et assensu Consilii mei,” to Mary’s father-in-law, Sir Henry Graham patri, “cartam quam Alanus filius Walteri, dapiferi Regis Scocie, antecessor noster, Ade filio Gilberti et heredibus suis dedit de feodo de Torboultoun” (a grant made in or before 1177).18 Mary was alive on Monday, 16 June 1320 when, “in sua viduitate,” she resigned “apud Colbranspeth” the tenement of Halsyngtoun in the sheriffdom of Berwick, styled “Maria sponsa quondam Nicholai de Grahame militis et una heredum quondam Marjoriae de Musco campo comitisse de Stratherne.”19 Although his younger brother Sir John Stewart (d.1298) had fathered three or four sons by the 1290s, Barrow and Royan point out that James’s “official position as 12 Michael Prestwich, Edward I (1988, [new edn.

B.-M. vVHO FIRST PLANNED THIS HISTORY PREFACE Years ago ,ny fat her and nzother made researches among the scattered branches of the family z"n order to compile a record of all who claimed descent from 'The pi"rst Laird.' In those days these researches resulted in apparently inter- 1ninable sheets of paper, wh£ch for purposes of study used to be spread out on the floor. They were covered with neatly written names wh-ich represented, as far as could be known, the descendants of the sixteen children of James Balfour. Perhaps those who helped them to fill -in this tale of descen­ dants may now be glad to learn what we know of the common ancestors. It is in this hope that I have tried to piece together all the £nformation which my fat her and mother sought out, added to what f amity records are contained in the Piing archives themselves. It has been a pleasant task, in the course of which all the help I have asked for from the members of the family has been cordially given.

PREFACE The material for " The Rulers of Strathspey" was originally collected by the Author for the article on Ogilvie-Grant, Earl of Seafield, in The Scots Peerage, edited by Sir James Balfour Paul, Lord Lyon King of Arms. A great deal of the information collected had to be omitted OAving to lack of space. It was thought desirable to publish it in book form, especially as the need of a Genealogical History of the Clan Grant had long been felt. It is true that a most valuable work, " The Chiefs of Grant," by Sir William Fraser, LL.D., was privately printed in 1883, on too large a scale, however, to be readily accessible. The impression, moreover, was limited to 150 copies. This book is therefore published at a moderate price, so that it may be within reach of all the members of the Clan Grant, and of all who are interested in the records of a race which has left its mark on Scottish history and the history of the Highlands. The Chiefs of the Clan, the Lairds of Grant, who succeeded to the Earldom of Seafield and to the extensive lands of the Ogilvies, Earls of Findlater and Seafield, form the main subject of this work.

Dozens of academic studies over the course of the past four or five decades have shown empirically that Catholic schools, according to a wide array of standards and measures, are the best schools at producing good American citizens. This dissertation proposes that this is so is partly because the schools are infused with the Catholic ethos (also called the Catholic Imagination or the Analogical Imagination) and its approach to the world in general. A large part of this ethos is based upon Catholic Anthropology, the Church’s teaching about the nature of the human person and his or her relationship to other people, to Society, to the State, and to God.

  • The Exploits of Two Dorset Knights at the Battle of Lewes and on the Fine Roll
    THE EXPLOITS OF TWO DORSET KNIGHTS AT THE BATTLE OF LEWES AND ON THE FINE ROLL By Huw Ridgeway [January 2012] It is always interesting to have independent confirmation of those who were present at the Battle of Lewes, May 14th 1264. The Chroniclers tend to be interested only in the great and good, the earls and barons. But what information can be gleaned about lesser men who participated in this historic battle, the knights? The Fine Roll for 1263-4 provides us with just that. On 21st July it records an extraordinary grant: two Dorset knights, Robert Fitz Payn and William de Goviz, were excused payment of relief as two-thirds co-heirs of the Dorset Baron Alfred (IV) of Lincoln ‘pro laudabili servicio que Regi impenderunt et pro dampnis que sustinuerunt in servicio Regis apud Lewes in conflictu ibidem’ ( for the praiseworthy service which they rendered to the king, and for the losses they sustained in the king’s service at Lewes in the battle there).1 Later on, the Fine Roll has more on other knights who took part in the battle: it records relief on Jewish debts for Walter Maureward who was with Roger de Huntingfield ‘at Lewes’ and a similar concession to Gervase de Bestenour whom John de la Haye, one of Montfort’s trustiest lieutenants, testified ‘ before the whole Council’ had been ‘at Lewes’.2 But it is the Dorset knights who are the focus of the present investigation. Who were they, and what had they done to merit such a notable concession, worth a handsome 50 marks (£33) each, a huge and welcome additional sum for men of their social circumstances? On the face of it, the case is simple enough: both had been summoned by the king in March 1264 to muster with his forces at Oxford prior to an onslaught on his Montfortian enemies in April.3 Both may well have fought for the king at Lewes and distinguished themselves in his service somehow in the battle.

I wanted to give you some context for this project. I’m interested in treatise-writing as a practice. Why do people choose to write treatises? I published my first book, Priests of the Law, a little over a year ago. Priests of the Law is about Bracton, a major treatise of the early to mid-thirteenth century. I have now moved on to a project on the later thirteenth century. A number of (mostly shorter) tracts on the common law survive from the period between about 1260 and 1300. These texts are some of the earliest evidence we have for the education of the lawyers who practiced in the English royal courts. Some even appear to be derived from lecture courses on the common law that we otherwise known nothing about. And yet many of them have never been edited. I have begun to edit and translate some of these texts. As I have been working my way through them, I have been looking for connections and trying to make sense of some of the oddities I have been finding in these texts. This paper is my attempt to make sense of the differences in language I have found.
